 Last Monday, in Lee township, about four miles from Atkins, James 1 l. Scott, colored boy, aged about 14 years, living with his step father, George Mccoy (col.), committed, or attempted 10 commit, nameless out rage upon the person of Lucy Harvey. white. aged I2 years. As soon as pos sible the child informed her parents of what had happened, the boy was ar rested and taken before Esq. $. F. Mathis for preliminary hearing, who bound him over to await the action of the grand jury, placing his bond at 5000, in default of which he was sent to the county jail. Constable 5. T. Ma lone passed through town yesterday 1 with the prisoner. He is simple looking boy and apparently does not realize the gravity of the crime he has l committed. Considerable excitement exists in the neighborhood where the parties reside, and the prevailing sen- timent is that full justice he meted out to the lecherous wretch.

 Renewed interest was imparted to the matter of the postoflice dedication at this place this week by the receipt of balance sheet from the department at Washington by Postmaster Rey- holds showing that little over $500 is yet due on account of Mr. Sherill's shortage. This is the final accounting and the case will be closed by the pay ment of the above named amount by the bondsmen. The total amount of shortage settled by the bondsmen is l $1 .930, distributed as follows: Bond of 1885, on postal funds, $23l; bond of 1886, on postal funds S499, on money order funds $1 200. This is the amount the bondsmen have been called upon to pay. Their net loss cannot yet be de- l termined because of their failure to 1 realize upon the property turned over to them by Mr. Sherrill It is safe to say that the property will fall far short of re-embursing them for the money paid out and they will come out of the transaction consider ably worsted, The promptness of the bondsmen in discharging their obliga- tions is certainly quite creditable to them, and no little sympathy is felt on account of the unfortunate affair. Fol- lowing is the list of bondsmen for the two years named: for 1885, w. L.. Price, J. l.. Burns, w. H. Poynter, C.. l.. Kirkscev, Van Tomlinson, 5. II. Rye, J l.. Shinn, l.. NJ. Smith and J.. N.

 GENrLEMnN:-I desire to give you my l unsolicited testimonial to the virtue of your grea. medicine, Hepatozone. My mother, who lives at Lafayette, Ala, has been great sufferer from liver trouble for four years, physicians ab- solutely falling to give her relief. Hav- | ing heard of the cures affected by your medicine. procured four bottles and sent them for her to try, urging her to give them a fair trial, and now she writes me as follows: "Fhanks to that wonderful medicine you sent me, my health is greatly improved; the pain in nay side, which the doctors here could not relieve, has entirely disappeared, and feel like 1 had a new lease on | life.' 1 have heard from my mother since the above was written, and she regards the cure as complete. Many of my friends at this place use HeDato- zone with great satisfaction, and pro nounce it one of the very best of liver medicines. Respectfully,

 -Dr. J. W. Davidson of Columbus, | Kansas, c. c. Glover of Oswego, Kan sas and F. o. Richards of Kansas City, 1 Mo, spent several days of last week prospecting for silver in the vicinity of | Appleton. Several years ago Dr. David son was interested In some lead mines l in Newton county and while working them became acquainted with party that told him of the existence of sil yer mine in the mountains north of l Appleton. The Dr. intended to visit | the place and see for himself, but was deterred from doing so from some cause or other and the matter was dropped. Since the silver and gold excitement in this state has run so high the Dr. de- termined to find his old friend and ex- anime the deposit he talked so elo- quently about. With thls view himself and friends visited Appleton last week, and upon enquiry found that the party sought had long since died and his secret was buried with him. Un- daunted by this adverse circumstance they proceeded into the mountains and spent several days prospecting. They arrived here Monday and left same afternoon for home, after having en- gagged two hacks from Howell & Ber- nard's stable to take them and party out to the mountains again upon their return which they said would be in at least ten days. They carried with them several sacks filled with what appeared to be ore, presumably for assay. Of course their actions have caused no little comment and some little excite ment, and if it should turn out that q
